The only thing we need now is for Ill Will to come back from China and take the 2.5 Mil - A tru;y versatile player we can always call our own who deserves to be part of something good here. Though he will probably go somewhere else for more money.

I'm am hoping and praying that Davis heals up cuz he is such a better passer than anyone we have had that it's not even funny. You put a PG like him in MDA's system and we'll see some serious results. He just has be be healthy enough to get up and down the court, cuz he won't have to do any heavy lifting anymore. PnR, alleyoops and popping 3's. MAN I hope this guy gets healthy soon.

Originally I thought we could sign him for the vets min too. |

So we aren't expecting him to come back from a horrible year or surgery I generally don't like targets like those, although, Grant Hill, was once on my done list a couple of times..... 1st Rounder |

So Chandler would have to be a sign and trade... |

i hope we kept our 2.5m exception too, if not, I hope we at least got a team option for the 2nd year, or at least player option.
This team looked like it was missing 3 point shooters to spread the floor as well. Another backup forward too.... Ak47ish Peja would be really nice. While using our expendables for package, to free up roster spots, and get us another piece that would help us... |

I don't understand why we had to give him the $2.5 mil exception when Cleveland was picking up his salary anyways and whatever we pay gets deducted from what Cleveland pays. I'm very happy we signed Baron but why not for just the vet min? The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

At this point where Crawford, Shawne, Murphy and many others aren't available, what is the concern that we gave Davis the 2.5 instead of the veteran min? Anybody else that's coming here was gonna get either of those. Whoever we plan on getting now will have to take the veteran's minimum, but anybody that's still available practically will take the same anywhere else.

Great move for the Knicks! Add Reggie Evans for the minimum and we'll be set!

The Knicks are reportedly going to pay Davis $2.5 million, using their exception.
But if Davis is a free agent after clearing waivers, why doesn't he sign with us for the minimum ($1.4 million), thus leaving the exception still available for us to try to lure someone else? Why would it matter to Davis how much the Knicks pay, if Cleveland is paying the balance of his contract? I guess there's a reason , but I don't get this. That said, great pickup! |

I definitley don't keep up with contract terms etc. TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

The team could have used the Room Exception of $2.5 mil to possibly land a better player than they could get for just the Vet min which could lead to a better chance of winning a Championship.Markji wrote:nykshaknbake wrote:loweyecue wrote:The only thing we need now is for Ill Will to come back from China and take the 2.5 Mil - A tru;y versatile player we can always call our own who deserves to be part of something good here.
